It'll be fun for sure. But I just can't imagine a skiing app for a phone being anything more than a gimmick (It's a phone app for fucks sake). Most of us on NS aren't super hardcore gamers but we all want a simulation game where we have full control of the skier. Something that normal gamers would find annoyingly hard to play. That's the reason why we're not going to have a real skiing game anytime soon like Skate or Amped 2. There just isn't a big enough market yet. Maybe after the Olympics, but I doubt it.
meh, better than nothing i suppose. i got excited whilst reading the thread title, thinking it would be a console game. Ah well, ill still be getting it. inb4 jib life release
If you go onto the acctual website you can sign up for the beta game so you can test it before its released! seems ok for an ipod game, better than nothing!
don't want to be cynical but my guess is that its probably just gonna end up being another MyTP/Jibbin kind of game but with half-pipe. hope I'm wrong tho
Bump cause Im super stoked for the backcountry one.
I heard like you get bonus points cause its like real mountains and like real cliffs and like you can find the safety caches and like irrie up and go Chaka Hudge
TANNER WHAT UP DWAG
the proofs on your new snow pit data books are done and lookin sweet
looks like the loins head isnt going to fit on the your new signature line of avabongs though
I don't understand much in the picture because I don't know jack shit about avalanches, snowpack, and pit digging, but the rest of that post was hilarious. Thanks.
Man way to get my hopes up and then crush them! a frickken app?? I've been waiting for a ski game for consoles for soooo long. they made shaun white snowboarding, but theres absolutely no ski games at all.
I think everyone should download this game regradlesss of how good its gonna be, the more sales it has the more likley it is too influence real game developers to make a serious console game
you are soooooo right ... but i think making a realistic ski game is more difficult than making a realistic skateboard game ... however they have to try it
